‘Christmas in the Rockies’ (2020): When things get rocky, compete in the lumberjack games
Flying hatchets. Running with chainsaws. These people will do anything for $50,000. But in this economy, who can blame them?

‘Sweet Hostage’ (1975): Linda Blair is kidnapped by Martin Sheen in TV exploiter
A must-have primer for every would-be romantic kidnapper out there…although the only way Sweet Hostage would be remade today is if Bradley Cooper kidnapped Dylan Mulvaney.
‘Macon County Line’ (1974): Classic exploiter should be seen at the drive-in!
A buddy of mine gave me a heads up this week that our last local drive-in closed for good a few weeks ago. When I was a kid, there were nine drive-ins spread out in the sticks, and on the fringes of the rapidly-expanding suburbs. Not surprisingly, I kept waiting to feel bad about what… Read More ‘Macon County Line’ (1974): Classic exploiter should be seen at the drive-in!
‘London’ (2005): It ain’t the city, it’s Jessica Biel
A Film About Love and her Victims. Obsession and betrayal on the cheap makes grown men weep. Okay, okay…Jessica Biel makes them weep.
‘Jonathan Livingston Seagull’ (1973): Spectacular-looking movie, but is it strictly for the birds?

‘Beyond the Poseidon Adventure’ (1979): Can disaster epics afford to be this boring?
This unjoyful, remarkably inept exercise in tired disaster conventions scuttled before the anchor was even raised.
‘Esther and the King’ (1960): With Joan Collins on screen & Mario Bava behind the camera, it’s an Easter treat!
Purim peplum. And yeah, I know it’s late, and yes, I know it has nothing to do with Easter, but neither does The Ten Commandments and you don’t see that stopping ABC, now do you.
‘The Poseidon Adventure’ (1972): 50 years later, disaster epic still an all-star of the era
It was unquestionably the perfect drive-in double feature: The Towering Inferno and The Poseidon Adventure. I can still see those remarkably evocative posters hanging up in the the late, great Jesse James Drive-In‘s faux-wooden bunkhouse/concession stand, waiting to get my Chinese eggroll with the cartoon on the wrapper and an orange drink (“Easy on the… Read More ‘The Poseidon Adventure’ (1972): 50 years later, disaster epic still an all-star of the era
‘The U.F.O. Incident’ (1975): Creepy, Hollywoodized version of alleged real-life alien abduction
Can’t some bug-eyed outer space piece of sh*t abduct me the hell out of what passes for America today? Oh, well…one can dream.
